BACHRACH OFFICES ANNEX

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 2004

This 2,000sf office annex for a prominent local men's clothing store, Bachrach, is located in concrete loft building in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood. It extends a facility completed by WKA in 2001.

The program includes a central open office area flanked by individual offices and conference space.
